(Sep 25/17) Hello just curious on when the maintenance on the HSL HVAC system and downstairs washrooms will finish. (Logically it must be maintenance, right? Its just Mills that has the 1940s type system that cant quite handle September or April and it doesnt make sense that anybody would have increased the thermostat.) Are these generally one week jobs, or do facility services or the contractor often take longer? Thank you. <3 Mac libraries

Library response:
Thank you for taking the time to raise your concerns. It was indeed stuffy in the library on Monday however, by the following day, the library was more comfortable. The age of the building makes it difficult to regulate building temperatures, especially during extreme weather conditions. In addition, there is a priority for moderating the temperature in patient care areas. Similarly, the hospital oversees building maintenance. Engineering Services has been contacted regarding the washrooms and we are following up for a status update.
